LETTER: MTSU pep band rude to visiting teams

My wife and I have had season tickets for MTSU's women's and men's basketball games for years and we've enjoyed the quality performances by both squads; however, we have been disgusted by the pep band's tradition of turning their backs to the floor when an opposing team's lineup is announced before each game.

Not only is that practice disgusting, it also is exceedingly rude. Visiting teams have done nothing to warrant such treatment, and I'm sure many MTSU fans are embarrassed when it happens. The pep band does a fine job of entertaining everyone throughout the game, but our enjoyment is tempered by the reminder that the band treated visiting teams so rudely at the outset.

Whoever came up with this practice needs to do some serious rethinking. There is no sense in doing something that tarnishes the reputation of a fine university and its quality basketball teams.
